Arsenal legend Lehmann again hanging up gloves

Schalke openly pondered the idea of taking on the 41-year-old goalkeeper last month before going quiet on the subject.

However, coach Ralf Rangnick confirmed today that Schalke would stick with their existing crop of goalkeepers rather than taking on Lehmann, who made his name with the Royal Blues before spells with AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Stuttgart.
